Subject: MUCH better

This is SO much better than another version of this on Librivox. I finally deleted the other one and looked for it here on IA to leave a review. Thank you so much for posting Karen's reading. And now, what about replacing that audiobook of Camilla that gives Mr. Dubster a southern accent?

Subject: Superior Reading

I echo the elegies of the reader. I just melt when I hear Karen read - both her British accent and excellent French pronunciation. It was a delight to hear her read this book.

Thank you Karen for a truly wonderful reading of a book I had not yet read.
Your reading kept me on the edge of my seat and you use your voice to such effect in the descriptions.

Subject: Accurate Historical background

What a fantastic find, this reading has been a delight to listen to while I walk my Great Danes. I knew the name "Scarlet Pimpernel," but not the story or author. I really enjoyed the reader from Texas and her french accent, marvelous. Thank you all so very much.

Subject: Wonderful reading!

This is an excellent work.

One of the best audiobooks I have ever read. Not only the story is very good, but also Karen Savage does a wonderful job, especially doing foreign French accent characterization. In fact, sometimes you feel there is more than one person reading the story.

I was really delighted in hearing her to impersonate French people trying to speak English.

Subject: Great reading!

This was a very enjoyable, professional sounding reading. Karen Savage has a crisp, expressive voice and really gives it her all. It's almost like having Merle Oberon reading it to you. (Odd--none of the people I know from Waco sound like that...) I'm fairly new here, but The Scarlet Pimpernel is the best audiobook I've listened to on librivox so far. Thank you very much, Karen Savage!
